Six ways a Sony VAIO TP2 can change your life – without you even leaving your sofa…
PLUS YOUR BIG CHANCE TO WIN ONE!
1) Use the VAIO TP2 as your High Definition home entertainment centre
TV, movies, music, photos, the internet – the VAIO TP2 can do them all. The TP2 has a built-in digital TV tuner, plus one-touch recording capabilities. Plug it into a Sony BRAVIA LCD TV and you’ll be able to record your favourite show. Even if you forget, you can access the show – and many more – later with on-demand schemes such as 4oD and BBC iPlayer. Simple and stunning.
2) Enjoy your best-loved films as you’ve never seen or heard them before – Blu-ray style!
Welcome to the pin-sharp world of High Definition movies, spinning in all their jaw-dropping excellence courtesy of the VAIO TP2’s Blu-ray drive. DVDs aren’t left out: the TP2 entertainment centre will upscale them to crystal-clear 1080p HD format, too.
3) Make the most of your music – at home or away
However you want to enjoy your favourite tracks, the VAIO TP2 will oblige. You can simply spin your CDs, or record the same discs to the massive 500GB hard-disk drive and build up a digital library you can peruse and play back with ease. It’s also a doddle to synchronise these tracks with your Sony WALKMAN player or mobile phone, so you can take your tunes anywhere.
4) Zap all those zappers – use just one remote control
There are no tricky mouse moments: the VAIO’s world of multimedia delights can all be controlled via a single remote handset, from the comfort of your sofa. And if you happen to be the fortunate owner of a matching BRAVIA TV, the TP2’s remote will do the business with that, too – cutting down that coffee-table clutter!
5) Everything the internet has to offer – wirelessly
To fully explore this VAIO’s online abilities, you need to pick up a keyboard. That’s a pleasure with the TP2’s wireless wonder, which sits as happily on your lap as it does on a table, complete with an integrated mouse. Just connect the keyboard to the VAIO via its stylish wi-fi receiver.
6) Perfect, showcase and share your own pictures and videos
View those holiday snaps on the big screen with the VAIO TP2. It makes it both easy and enjoyable, and with Sony offering HD-quality camcorders, cameras and printers, you’re guaranteed top quality, too.
Just in case you’re concerned…
You’ll have no trouble getting connected with the TP2, which has every socket you could wish for. The rear has USB and HDMI ports, an optical output for digital audio and an ethernet socket. At the front, a sliding panel hides two USB ports, an i.Link socket and slots for a pair of media cards.
